If we had a choice, we would not have hosted this game, an expensive exercise for a poor country like ours.  But we are part of the region and we are obligated to contribute our share to Southeast Asian solidarity.  If Vietnam, with its long history of wars and rebellion, hosted the last SEA games with flying colors, bakit naman hindi tayo?

With both President Arroyo and her main contender, movie star Fernando Poe Jr., yet to offer hard financial policies, the peso has gone into nosedive as the business community holds its breath.

                    [Summary] => The 23rd Southeast Asian Games started yesterday in Manila.  In the nine-day event, the biggest sporting spectacle in our region, eleven nations will compete, mobilizing about 7,000 athletes and officials. 


If we had a choice, we would not have hosted this game, an expensive exercise for a poor country like ours.  But we are part of the region and we are obligated to contribute our share to Southeast Asian solidarity.  If Vietnam, with its long history of wars and rebellion, hosted the last SEA games with flying colors, bakit naman hindi tayo?

With both President Arroyo and her main contender, movie star Fernando Poe Jr., yet to offer hard financial policies, the peso has gone into nosedive as the business community holds its breath.
